Well, this site obviously made in an effort to get more Titans games on KEYE-TV in Austin, Texas.

Why show the Titans over the Texans in Austin?

• As KEYE Programming Director Gary Vinson wrote on Richard Justice's blog, the Titans game was watched by more than 152% households in the KEYE viewing area than the Texans game!  To dismiss this by saying that the Neilson rating system is inherently flawed is ludicrous!
• Vince Young was 8-5 last year as a rookie quarterback. the Texans are 8-24 over the last two seasons!
• Austin is a college town; Tennessee has four Longhorns on its roster, so a majority of the college football fans can be expected to tune in to watch these UT alumns.

In the mid 1800's a group of Tennesseans came to Texas. There they helped Texas gain its freedom from Mexico whilst giving their lives at the Alamo.

In the early 2000’s Texas repaid the favor. First sending tight end Bo Scaife in 2005, then fullback Ahmard Hall and quarterback Vince Young in 2006, and finally defensive back Michael Griffin in 2007 to the Tennessee Titans the state of Texas has given the Volunteer State 4 starters for their NFL franchise. All four of these outstanding athletes had phenomenal collegiate careers at The University of Texas at Austin so it is only natural that those who loved watching them in college would love watching them in the NFL. Thanks to CBS KEYE 42 Austin, those of us in the capital city can watch the Titans for almost every game. Previously, Austin was in the Houston Texans region but with hardly any true Texans on the team, there was little interest in the team. When the Texans had a chance to draft hometown hero Vince Young and didn’t, that was the final straw for many people. In 2006 KEYE began airing Titans games instead of Texans games due to demand from their audience. They are doing the same for much of 2007 and we couldn’t be more thankful to them.

Thanks KEYE! Hook ‘em Horns, Hook ‘em Titans, and God Bless Texas!
